Fully Human

There is the popular image of Jesus, and then there is Yeshua, the very human child prodigy who leaves his home in Israel to embark on a journey of enlightenment to India before fulfilling his destiny as a prophet and, for many, the savior of man. Based on scholarly research and a fresh interpretation of historic fact, Fully Human: The Story of a Man Called Yeshua presents an alternative history of Jesus, one that renders him in flesh and blood, someone both more worldly and mystical than the figure recounted in Biblical stories. This imagining of Yeshua's lost years shows a child becoming a man with the full range of human emotions but also profound insights and powers. An 11-year-old living in the city of Nazareth exhibits an uncanny understanding of scripture which exceeds that of most adults. Though his stepfather wants him to follow in his footsteps into the carpentry trade, the boy rebels and prepares to begin his rabbinical studies. His gifts and strange manner make him the butt of taunts and bullying by other children, but a local rabbi has a hunch that he might be a prophet. When Yeshua's mother tells him the story of his true origins, Yeshua sets off on a path of self-discovery. During a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he and a friend are met by a mysterious warrior from India, who speaks of a vision his master, a famous Indian sage named Patanjali, has had about someone very much like Yeshua. Yeshua travels to India to study Yoga, Brahmanism, and Buddhism, as well as a healing science practiced in India called Ayurveda. He does not see home for 17 years. When he returns, he finds that dark forces have been trying to destroy his family. A struggle ensues that will ultimately forge how history remembers and reveres this humble holy man.
